The Patriots have enough to be competitive, and it could save their head coach

It’s a loaded edition of the 6 Rings Pod and Paul Perillo of Patriots.com and Patriots Unfiltered to break it all down. The guys kick things off with some DeAndre Hopkins talk. After weeks of “Hopkins watch” it came to an end on Sunday afternoon, with the Patriots missing out on a golden opportunity as the three-time All Pro packs his bags and heads to Tennessee. Where does this leave the Patriots’ receiving corps, and does Mac Jones have enough with the current weapons? The guys also take a look at the Running backs around the NFL speaking out about their value on the market and discuss whether or not the Patriots have a legitimate shot at landing Dalvin Cook. The tone surrounding Bill Belichick has shifted DRAMATICALLY recently. Is the six time Super Bowl champ on the hot season, and does Robert Kraft care if he breaks Don Shula’s win record as a member of the Patriots? It’s been four years since the Patriots won a playoff game and Robert Kraft has not been shy when it comes to voicing his frustrations with that. Andy Hart and Paul Perillo give their five reasons why the Patriots could make the playoffs this season and possibly break that current drought.
